Many have said everything that needs to be said, first of all I will use my schl as a case study that if you ever had 'F' at any point in time then forget abt graduating with first class because it unrealistic. The bitter truth is that you won't be able to graduate with first class, No first class student you will find today ever had suchs carryovers you have...try and aim for the best and be ready for the worst probably if you put in your best in the remaining years you will spend in schl 2.1 is realistic that's if you don't have another carryovers or Ds and Cs don't be deceive it won't be easy but with God on your side everything is possible

Pls am 22 and I need to pass so I can get a good job after graduation.
I know I didn't give my books much attention this semester.

I am confused because I will be asked to withdraw if I get a cgpa less than 2.0 on a scale of 5 after second semester and don't meet the 10-8-8 requirement which I am very far from.

To be honest with you the "FIRST CLASS DREAM" is now a facade. you have started on wrong foot and if you can study hard then you can graduate with a 2.2 (second class lower) maybe luckily a 3.5/0 (second class upper).

First of all, change your friends and then forget about Romance, boyfriend and lust and focus on your books.
You can also try tutorials since you are still in 100l, i want to believe senior students will be holding tutorials to help you guys.

STOP SLAYING (SLAY QUEEN) AND START STUDYING.

Madam! Pls always tell your self the truth. You are not even a second class upper candidate. Face realities and stop dreaming. For your information a second class upper material will not attend year one classes but will still pass very well.

Don't believe this just yet, it's a 5 year programme. There's hope but you've got to be ruthless. I'm glad you realised yourself quite early and you're willing to do better.

Don't be fixated on a first class just yet, work to erase correct the Fs you've got so far.

Wait oo

Is it 0.2 or 2.0 ?

I don’t understand how you can have 0.2

What did you score in Maths, Physics and Chemistry in your O levels ?

I need that information before I can advise anything.

I also need to you explain in clear concise terms your motivation/reason for wanting to study engineering.

Thanks

Lolz, not laughing at your result, but laughing at you needing 4.5 from 200 to 500level to graduate with first class. Let me educate you. I graduated from the same FUT minna, 2014. Presently, I'm concluding a master program in the same school. With your 0.2GP, you can never make first class. 2.1 will even be difficult for you as a girl taking into consideration the distractions you girls put yourselves through. The reason is that, those Fs will continue to count against you till you graduate. Whenever your CGPA is to be calculated, the zeros that accompanied those Fs will continue to be used. Even after carrying them over. I had 2 Fs in my undergraduate by mistake. I ended up with a 4.3CGPA upon my above 4.5 CGPAs after my 200level. So my dear, the best you can do for yourself now is to change department. But as it stands now, you are heading towards the back gate, ie the remedial gate as no department in FUT Minna will accept you with that CGPA. My dear, you studying engineering doesn't guarantee your getting a job after graduation. Engineers are all over the streets of this country hustling even with their first class certs. What I will advice you now is to sit up in this second semester and make sure you make at least 3.7gp. With that, you can end up with 1.5 CGPA. With that, you can apply for change of department. Come down to school of science if calculation is a problem to you. But remember, school of science is more difficult when compared to engineering. I said so because, their course works are always voluminous, and you will need to read and read to pass. Unlike engineering that's all about calculations. Hard luck dear. Sit up and give boys break for now. You know how it is in FUTMin, one girl to 50 guys. Lolz

Before I opened the thread I know say e go be babe.

By the way, you didn't give your books attention and you stayed off campus with your girlfriends who would be probably talking about the final year and 3rd year boys toasting them and you are complaining?

My solution: read ahead. Collect handouts and past questions from the set ahead of you. Read at least 2 hours everyday. By the time exams approaches, while others are cramming or reading to pass, you would have internalized the course and would be reading to know. Also try to formulate examples outside what the lecturer has given you in class. Relate what you have been taught in class to real life situation. But read 2 hours everyday and you are good to go
Re: First Year Semester GPA Of 0.2, I Need A First Class. Am on Verge Of Giving Up. by poseidon12: 9:45pm On Jun 24, 2018
I believe you are kidding. You got mostly F's in your courses and you are still thinking of getting First Class? You should be thinking about being able to graduate first. First Class is definitely out of the question here.
And you should also consider changing course.
Any way, I believe this is fake story, definitely. Who would get all F's and still have the courage to announce it on the internet, with her full name and school.

There is no coming back from a GPA of 0.2 no matter the hardwork \ smartwork involved. And mind you, you already have an automatic extra year because there's a limit to the amount of carry over course units you can take on in subsequent semesters.

Someone stated that you might not be able to cope with the demands of an engineering course, do not overlook that.

You have to personally re-evaluate your capabilities and work harder to up your game if you intend to continue with your chosen course of study.

It's actually 20%.

As an alumni if 10-8-8 is unattainable start looking for a new department and if possible step back down to 100L and start afresh.

Hi,

I think you can turn the table around if you can do some basic introspection and take actions as may be required. Firstly, mathematically it appears your target of 1st class may be impossible at 0.2 overall 100 level CGPA. I have good news for you though, you can finish with a fist class mindset and knowhow which are quite critical to you ultimately succeeding in life.

What went wrong? Over confidence, distraction etc. Now is the time to refocus and get back to the basic: listening , reading and understanding. Attend classes, work hard to get assignments done, be familiar with your curriculum, get the right textbooks, be friends to like minds who are already flying in their coursework etc.

Now, mechanical engineering is one of the best engineering course with a vast array of specialism and aplication across industries. Spend time to research about this and leverage your internship opportunities, holidays etc rmto acquire field experience. IT/holidays are a gold mine if you utilize them well when they come. I am a living testimony.

Mechanical engineering is not a workover, hardwork is key. God will bless your sincere hussle.

Hoping this helps you.[color=#000099][/color]

I must commend ur zeal and passion for academic excellence in spite of current disposition. But truth be told it will be easier for a camel to pass thru d eye of a niddle than for you to make a first class grade in "Mech" engineering with this start. Ordinarily, it takes d Grace Good for one who is very brilliant to even come out wit a 1st class in Mech engineering. So dear my advice to u will be to kip the faith, zeal, passion and the fire for 1st class burning, that will at least give u a soft landing 2:1. If u shoot at d moon and misses it, u will land among d stars. Reduce drastically or possibly stay away from those things dat made of perform this poorly.

Your profile pic? undecided You can't be slaying and still study Mechanic Engineering well.

You can't get a first class with that GP but work on how to cut of some fvvcked up lifestyle that you been living and read your books.

Identify those nerdy guru and make them your academic friends.

Stay away from anything called fun for now. Always have a positive mindset when studying.


I heard FUT Minna is a tough school. You need to be tougher to make it through any Nigerian University.

Good luck and make at least a 3.50 GP in the second semester.






damtan:
I laugh in spanish. On a good day, 204 in utme is low for mechanical engineering except your legs are long which is obvious.
My advice, you can't cope in MEE department; change your department while you still can.

Changing of department even needs a good GPA

Look prayers are important, they help you believe that you can achieve. But if you don't read, hard, no amount of prayer will make you pass.
Someone who spend all his time reading effectively and does only 1 minute of prayer will still perform better.the one who spends equal time reading and praying.

Sit in front of the class during lectures.
Take down notes on what the lecturer is saying (comprehensive notes).
Make friends with people who are smart and can teach you.
Do not be swayed by youthful exuberance (clubbing, house parties, parambulating round the city, going out everytime, looking for relationship up and down). YOU DON'T NEED IT.
Ensure you read at least 12 hours a week (nothing less). Spread those hours as you deem fit.
Do not take assignments for a joke. They are more important than you think. DO ALL YOUR ASSIGNMENTS.
Before every test, ensure that you have fully covered all topics. Be prepared to pull an all-nighter. Lack of sleep before a test will not kill you. You can sleep all you want during holidays.
Have complete notes for all lectures, and ensure you read them all.
Always seek assistance from people who can help you in whatever you don't understand.
Aim for a 5.0 GPA with all your heart. It's easy to get if you put your mind to it.

If you can strictly follow all these, you should be able to pass well.
She can't get 5.0 in Futminna mechanical

you get luck sha. you just reminded me I had 199 in jamb and 288 in putme and couldn't get admission in FUTO 2011 to study same course.

you are privileged to have gotten admission you need to sit-up , attend tutorials and study well focusing more on engineering drawings and other departmental courses that have high credit units. i am not sure the first class can still be possible. But u can decide not to be withdrawn and still graduate with a good grade. also use your vacation to start learning softwares like AutoCAD that will be of great help to you soon also and have high credit unit too.

Jarus:


Nothing is impossible, but all indicators point to you not being a first class material. I hate to say that.

Most first class grads have track record from secondary school. 204/400 in UME is not a first class material's score. Even worse, first class grads don't have "F parallel".

A more realistic graduation target for you is 2.1 (i.e CGPA of above 3.5/5.0) which is still good enough for the labour market, but the immediate concern should be how to avoid being rusticated. Put out the fire first.

Try and target B minimum in all your courses in the next semester. Read. Read. Read. Get academic high flyer mentors. Meet your seniors that did the courses in the previous year, ask for tricks for passing each of the courses.

When you put out the fire (i.e stabilize), then you can continue your long term target of graduating with a good grade.

1) you will have to know or put it in your mind that after 100level you will have to change your course or faculty
2) try as much as possible to pass all your papers this semester and make sure you get atleased C grade
3) avoid unnecessary outing, games, unions, and chats on medias
4) gather as many past handouts as possible and don't joke my brother
5) go for extra moral lessons when their is opportunity
6) where you do not understand please ask questions, i say ask questions
